Friends of TTRA

Welcome to the T.T.R.A. website.

The T.T. Riders Association (TTRA)
website offers information and articles on the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy riders association. Take a look through the website
for access to the Society archives including photos, newsletters and a brief history of the Association.

The T.T. Riders Association is the only Isle of Man registered
charity in motorcycle racing for motorcycle racers. If you start
a T.T. race you can join for £35 which gives you Life Membership.

If you are new to the TTRA or have never heard of us, this is the
place to start.

The values and aims of the TTRA haven't changed in the many years that it has been in existence.
Riders, and their families, who face real hardship, are helped as much as is possible and for as long as is necessary.
By its very nature, confidentiality is everything, this work goes largely unnoticed.
But the sting in the tail for the TTRA is that by having to hide its light under a bushel the association
finds it that much more difficult to cast the fundraising net farther afield. It also comes as a surprise to
find that an organisation founded out of necessity in the 1950's should still be needed in 21st Century,
but needed it most definitely still is.

The 2016 TT Riders Association Annual Luncheon

Alex George arrives for the start of his year as
President of the TTRA. He rode into the hall on the legendary
Triumph Slippery Sam which he rode to his first victory in the
1975 Production Race. This was the fifth year of consecutive
wins for Triumph and Alex lapped at 102.82 mph during the
race

The 2016 TT Riders Association annual luncheon was held at the National Motor Cycle Museum, Birmingham on
Wednesday October 26th 2016.

This event is by ticket only, purchased in advance. It includes 4 course dinner, dress code is smart casual.
The procedings include a great auction conducted by Bonhams Auctioneers - London.
Great items are donated for the special cause which is purely to raise money
for assisting TT Riders.

We can assist with Riders who may have been injured in the sport we all love and enjoy,
or for some unfortunate reason financial assistance may be asked for. These circumstances
are dealt with confidentially and with discretion. We always appreciate
a call from a good friend or relative who can guide us through the TTRA members situation.

The Friends of the TTRA

The Friends of the TTRA is a great way for
those who enjoy the TT, but have never ridden in a race to help support the TTRA. Please go to the FoTTRA pages for more information.

Friends are maybe those who made the race possible for a rider such as a sponsor,
a mechanic, a marshal, official, a member of the riders family or even a TT enthusiast.
The list includes manufacturers, ordinary motorcyclists and
business people who have an interest in motorcycle sport or the objects of the charity.
